Corn is a starch.

Not a healthy one, but its mid summer.

Of fucking COURSE we are going to be eating fresh corn on the cob.


A cob of corn every 4-7 days won't hurt anything. Especially if its only one of the VERY carbs you are eating

Ya I haven’t been eating much . Lately I’m not really hungry as usual, so for supper I’ve been doing protein shakes. I would like my mixed fruit in the shakes ,but they’re spiking my blood sugar so I said fk it and just have meat based protein powder with amino acids and skim milk .
Also throw in half a teaspoon of Ceylon cinnamon , as it’s supposed to lower blood sugar .
It gets crazy when you have diabetes as you have to start reading labels . Faurk ,literally everything has added sugar and you have to do a lot of research

I’m off corn now though

hunger often kicks in when blood sugar is crashing from eating higher carbs/junk.

when it is stable, you don't really get hunger pangs. and even more so when you revert back to real food, and start just to see food as fuel. you naturally feel you've had enough, and if you keep yourself busy, 20 hours can easily go by (including sleeping), and you won't have realized you haven't eaten.

it's why it's often good to have a last meal quite late. 7pm, then by the time you've woken up, by noon you're already at 17hrs. throw in some steps. do that for a few months, and it's pretty hard to still be in the 240s. as long as you don't binge or hit up the booze which really slow things down

with the labels and added sugar, once you realize 90% of the stuff they sell in the store is a "food product" and not real food, it really narrows down the selection of what we should be eating

but now they are fking around with fruit and veg. bananas, cumcumbers that bend almost 90 degrees and dont snap/break naturally, watermelon that also bends like rubber. they are fking with everything so it just lasts longer on the shelf

Good call , as that’s 100% correct . It’s amazing when you eat the proper foods how all of the sudden your hunger pains go away

Ok not sure why I’ve been a feeling a little weak as if I have low blood sugar, but the numbers are good . I tried to start a fast yesterday and had soup and quiche for lunch , but by 9 o’clock after mowing my lawn I was weak AF .
I had no choice to have a glass of milk with protein powder and amino acids . I did take sea salts , potassium and magnesium earlier with no improvement.
I wanted to do my back workout and it was literally impossible with how weak I felt , and after eating some cashews and that protein drink things went back to normal.

Right now I think instead of fasting , I’ll have lunch, but for supper it’s going to be my protein drink and some nuts .
I posted it on another thread but I’m down to 241 which is another milestone.
I’m hoping to get into the 230’s very soon , and hopefully the 220’s in the fall . The objective is to get in the 190’s, but not making any promises lol

how do some ppl eat so little yet remain fat fuks? I've seen u post meals before and they didnt look all that calorie dense.

No idea , as I have been watching things very carefully , plus walking and pumping iron . Maybe I’m eating too much at once and not burning it off .
I have been living mostly on soup and on occasion a slice of quiche , but for lunch today I had some bacon and a 4 egg omelette. I felt really good after that and have had literally no hunger pains all day . I just had a glass of skim milk with meat base protein and amino acids .
I think by just having one decent meal a day and a shake for supper that I may see some improvement.

Tomorrow for lunch I’m going to have a steak and vegetables , then do the shake again in the evening before my workout.

One very good thing is my vision is vastly improved by having little to no sugar. You can’t get away from sugar completely, as even skim milk is 4% sugar .
I left out that I have a half pint of frozen yogurt 5 days a week from a specialty shop here . It’s made with Stevia and has no effect on my blood sugar whatsoever. It’s hot AF right now and it’s really the only treat I get other than berries on occasion. I don’t think it’s holding me back

I'm still struggling with alcohol. Gosh I can put them away.

'Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I shall die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen.'

Haven’t had a drink since I was diagnosed with diabetes mid May . Believe me I’d like to get rinsed, but from what im reading alcohol destroys pancreas cells . I think it’s fked enough tbh

Jesus Christ, I don't want you to get rinsed. I want you to get better. Don't read my 2nd post

Didn’t read

Ok. Fine. What do I know? We're both alcoholics but you're fat and old. Good luck

Yes my tours over dead srs. Inquiring into MAID as we speak.

I feel like I might throw up. That's the way it goes. But I knew a guy who was 67 a couple years ago. Funny as heck. Funnier than me, more youthful than me, if he wanted to be.

I drank today, and I'm more stupid for having done it.

You’re only here once . If I could do it over again I would still drink , but never touch hard liquor as that’s what fked me .
I keep getting this bad pain under the right side of my lower rib cage when I drink whiskey.
So I quit and hadn’t drank rye and coke for over a year and a half .
Unfortunately on my 65th Bday I thought wtf, celebrate with some rye for the last time . Next thing you know that pain was back but never left this time , and I’ve got diabetes right when it happened.

Makes me sick that I could have avoided all this by cutting out most chocolate and hard liquor . It didn’t help that I couldn’t walk very far for 4 months ,or that I fked my tendons in my arms so badly when I tore out my old chimney that I couldn’t even tilt a full glass of water .
Had I been active I also don’t believe this would have happened. Now I’m forced to eat properly with no more treats , which probably isn’t a bad thing , but I’m missing getting rinsed once every 6 weeks srs

You've got great discipline to tackle this. Keep going, keep progressing

stay strong MT u gotta turn this into a positive

imagine u lean at around 200 lbs u will feel GREAT light as a feather and strong

take 1 day at a time that's all we can do

Well I’m doing something right

In the 5’s morning or night . When I was making protein shakes I was in the 7’s - 9’s first thing in the morning. I don’t know if I just improved and can back to making protein shakes with frozen fruit , or if I’ll have issues again.
But things have been really good lately .In theory I don’t even need to poke myself anymore , as I can tell when my blood sugar is high in the mornings now by how I feel , as all the nausea is gone

That's really good man. You've gotten it really under control since the 24.5 reading.

You could try making a shake and see what happens/ what you test at. I'm hoping there's some recovery of the pancreas with this work you're putting in.

i would start to skip on the protein shakes (not sure how many you have a day), and even milk. unless it is really filling and allowing you to go hours more without eating. if you have to eat a couple of hours after consuming that - it hasn't done it's job of making you feel satiated. you might be feeling lightheaded/sluggish/tired too because your blood sugar is crashing after jacking up the blood glucose and it goes down with activity.

high protein diets do spike insulin. that is what we are trying to lower. and we are trying to fix insulin resisitance by fixing insulin sensitivity.

so the dark green veg is still the way to go. you can throw on some chick breasts if you like or fish/sardines are good.

but i would start to incorporate a few hundred steps walking every hour you are awake. no BS

not sure how you track your steps. but every hour just get up and do <a href="tel:500-1000">500-1000</a> if you can manage it. even 500 is fine.

the point is, you are constantly moving your body in a natural state, this forces glyocgen from the blood and liver/stored in muscles to get pushed into cells. that improves insulin senstivity. which fixes insulin resistance, and allows your body to access stored body fat. this might not be needed for someone that has always had normal hormones and is a leancell. we are talking about hormonally ill people with type 2 diabtes. they have to be active, and that doesn't mean killing themselves lifting heavy, or running etc. it's the constant activity throughout the day that will naturally fix things.

and then of course diet plays a massive role too. just stay away from processed foods. and avoid mixing high fats with high carbs. as your body in a type 2 state cannot process it.

you got this though, making steady progress. good to hear brah. stick at it and 230s are coming in the next month
